About Journalism Academy

Transforming Passionate Writers into Professional Journalists Since 2005

Our Story

Founded in 2005 by a group of award-winning journalists, Journalism Academy was created to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical journalism skills. What began as a small workshop series has grown into a comprehensive educational institution serving students from over 40 countries.

Our mission is simple: to train ethical, skilled, and adaptable journalists who can navigate the rapidly evolving media landscape while upholding the core principles of quality journalism. We believe that robust journalism is essential for informed societies and functioning democracies.

Today, with over 15,000 alumni working in newsrooms worldwide, we continue to evolve our curriculum to address emerging trends while maintaining our commitment to journalistic fundamentals.
